Abstract

A device for detecting the movement of a movable component in that the position signals furnished by two position sensors are added to form a signal that is conducted through a line to an evaluation arrangement. The position ranges associated with the position sensors have an overlap region. Different discrete values are assigned to the position signals and can be evaluated easily in the evaluation arrangement.
